Overview

This 5 to 6 hour boat-based tour visits Cypress Springs, a natural cave-fed cold spring near Panama City Beach. The spring maintains a steady temperature of 70 degrees Fahrenheit year-round and offers water visibility over 100 feet. Guests travel down Holmes Creek using a kayak, canoe, or stand up paddleboard (SUP), with choice of craft confirmed at booking. A guide accompanies the group throughout, providing instructions, setting up equipment, and assisting with snorkeling using an underwater scooter that reduces physical effort. Participants can document their time underwater with a GoPro and mounts supplied by the operator. The tour includes bottled water and a lunch with sandwich options selected in advance. Transportation from Panama City Beach to the spring takes about 45 minutes each way. The tour covers paddling upriver, so children under 12 must be with an adult. Weight limits apply to kayaks and paddleboards. Other stops may include Merritt’s Mills Pond, Econfina, and Coastal Dune Lakes along the Emerald Coast, depending on conditions and itinerary variation. No hotel pickup or drop-off is provided, and gratuities are not included.
